QUALITY that lasts
More than 25 years ago the Upton family began sourcing and supplying quality timber doors and windows and selling them to the local Hobart community via their small hardware store.
Now more than two decades later Uptons has launched SHIELD, a semi-commercial high-quality doors and windows brand dedicated to providing exceptional double glazed aluminium and timber doors and windows, at excellent prices.
SHIELD carries a large range of double-glazed doors and windows in a wide variety of standard sizes but can also create doors and windows in custom sizes to your specific requirements.
Over many years, the Upton family has dedicated a huge amount of resources into finding the best product from the most reliable, consistent suppliers and this dedication has allowed Uptons to provide the high-quality SHIELD doors and windows at very competitive prices.

ENERGY EFFICIENT DOORS & WINDOWS
As energy costs continue to rise and society becomes more aware of the environmental impact heating and cooling has on the environment, there has been a clear move across Australia (and the world) towards double-glazing as an efficient, cost-effective method for reducing the energy consumption of new and existing homes.
More than 40% of heating and cooling energy is lost through doors and windows.
SHIELD recognises that improving the thermal efficiency of your doors and windows dramatically reduces the energy use of your home, which helps save money on heating and cooling bills and reduces your environmental footprint at the same time.
Because of this, all SHIELD doors and windows are semi-commercial, double glazed and Argon gas filled for thermal, environmental and financial benefits.
